The Parrot
A poor man a parrot. The parrot had earned to say the words:” there is no doubt about it.” These words were all he could say, and to every question he answered: There is no b
Doubt about it.
One day his in his cage to the market in order to sell it.”Who will buy my parrot?” Cried he,” Twenty pounds for my parrot!” A man, who heard this high price called out, looked at the bird, and asked him:”Poll, are you worth twenty pounds?” There is no doubt about it.”Was Poll’s answer. The man was so delighted with this, that he bought the bird and carried it home.
Some time after he repented of his bargain, standing by the side of the cage, he said, “What a foot I was, to throw so much money away!” There is no doubt about it.” Cried the bird. And this time the bird was right.
鹦鹉

一天，它的评价提着乱子去市场，想把这只鹦鹉卖掉。“谁买鹦鹉？”他大声吆喝着，“20英镑一只。”有通信卫星叫价很高，于是他打量着鹦鹉问道：“鹦鹉，你值那么多钱吗？”这疑问。“鹦鹉回答。这个人听了之后很欣喜，便买了它带回家中。，当他开始后悔自己做的这宗买卖时，他站在鸟笼旁边说：“我真是个傻瓜，白白扔掉了那么多钱！”“这毫无疑问。”鹦鹉叫着。这一次它倒是说得没错。
